Below is a brochure we prepared in 1998 in relation to see and avoid. It listed lots of incidents where the “calling in the blind” system had broken down.
These days, you never hear a murmur from the ATSB or CASA in relation to this.
Are these types of incidents now not happening or are they being covered up either by the pilots or by the authorities?
The main lesson is to always be absolutely vigilant when flying in any airspace. Never be obsessed with radio-arranged separation when in VMC, such as a regular poster from the west on this website obviously is!
